BASSET HOUND CAMP


The committee have been toying with the idea of holding a camping & caravanning weekend but have not been able to come up with a suitable venue.

Ideally we would want a field where we could all gather with a large number of hounds, there were 32 on our last walk so perhaps that many, maybe more. There might be some who wouldn't want to stay the night so it would have to be possible for them to join us say for a barbecue/picnic at around lunchtime. Perhaps a campsite with an event field.

Some might want to have electric hook up. It may be that those wanting electricity will have to park in a different part of the campsite to those without.

As part of the event we would want to take all the hounds on a walk so ideally if it were a place from which we could just embark on a walk or if not somewhere close to a suitable walk.

As for location, I would prefer somewhere in South East England away from where we normally hold our walks but the committee is open to ideas. 

Of course one problem with going somewhere unfamiliar is apart from finding the venue we also have to find somewhere suitable to walk 30+ Basset Hounds.

Does anyone know of a campsite or perhaps even of a farm where an event like that might be held?

Any ideas, thoughts? Please let me know, click here to send me an email.
